"[W]e do things not because they're easy but because they're hard": Jack Schlossberg compares Harris to grandfather JFK.

Jack Schlossberg during Night 2 of the DNC on Tuesday night compared Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to his late grandfather, President John F. Kennedy.

“Like President Kennedy, Vice President Harris has dedicated her life to public service. She believes in America, like my grandfather did; that we do things not because they're easy, but because they are hard,” Schlossberg said at the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago.

“As president, she will fight for working families,” Schlossberg continued. “She will expand investments in clean energy so that my generation will have clean air and good jobs. She will defend our freedoms — the freedom for women anywhere in America to make their own health care choices, the freedom to be safe from gun violence, the freedom to vote easily and without fear.

“The choice is ours to make, and history is watching to see what we will do. Now, let's elect Kamala Harris the next president of the United States.”
